How To Strum In 6/8 Time Signature. Beginner Guitar Lesson From Studio 33 Guitar

Wouldn't adding the "and five" upstroke make it a 7/8? That's not 6 strokes per beat, it's seven nkw.. I'm a beginner and trying to learn! Also, what really makes this different from a 3/4 (triplet) if it goes by the same rule, of ONE two three ONE two three, etc. Like 6/8 goes ONE two three FOUR five six, the accent (hard strum) is still on the third strum, so why is it any different? Is there something I'm missing? I'm sure it has its uses.. just a beginner!

Thanks for this great video. Although you mention the song, this lesson helped me get a handle on strumming Norwegian Wood, which I believe is in 6/8.

6/8 and 3/4 seems Holly Similar

I've been trying to learn on my own but time signatures and techniques are frustrating! This video on 6/8 time made sense! Now if I can understand binary and computer ... I know I can learn music to play on my guitar!
